Roborock Qrevo PRO: Optimal in price, cleaning quality, and features

The latest newcomer, the Roborock Qrevo Pro robot vacuum, is a bridge between the smaller Qrevo S and the larger Qrevo MaxV. Compared to the flagship MaxV, the turbo brush lift feature has been removed, the robot can no longer be controlled via the company's "Hello, Rocky!" voice assistant, and the remote home monitoring feature has been removed. This allowed the price to be reduced by at least $100. At $900, however, the robot vacuum gains a baseboard wiper, a water heater at the wiper station, and a powerful motor generating up to 7000 Pa of suction. So, below, I'll tell you what else the Roborock Qrevo Pro can do, conduct tests, and then highlight the pros and cons of the new model. So, let's get started!

Equipment

In addition to the robot and station, the package includes a power adapter, two cleaning cloth holders, a spare station bag, and an instruction manual. The package is standard. Let's move on!

Appearance

Now let's take a look at the Roborock Qrevo Pro's design. Let's start with the robot vacuum itself. It's round and comes in white and black.

A wall sensor is installed on the right. A system of sensors is located in the center to detect and accurately avoid obstacles on the floor.

The technology is called Reactive Tech Obstacle Avoidance, the same as the first-generation Roborock Q Revo. The robot does not have an active camera. Therefore, remote monitoring via smartphone is not supported.

Navigation is based on lidar, which is equipped with a spring-loaded cover to prevent the robot from getting stuck under furniture. The control panel has two mechanical buttons.

The dust container is located under the top lid. It holds up to 330 ml of dry waste. The manufacturer allows you to rinse the container and filter with water. The filtration system is HEPA-based only.

This robot's water tank is non-removable. It's hidden inside the body and holds up to 80 ml of water. Water is pumped automatically through the station.

The robot is equipped with four fall protection sensors on the bottom. A carpet detection sensor is located next to the swivel roller. It has a single side brush: a three-beam brush secured with a screw.

The central brush unit is floating. There's a single silicone turbo brush that can be removed on both sides to remove tangled hair and pet hair.

The cloths are also of a familiar design, but the material is much thicker than most similar products. Behind one of the holders, the right one, we see a mechanism that allows the cloth to extend to the edge of the body, similar to the Roborock Qrevo MaxV. This eliminates the blind spot between the edge of the cloth and the baseboard, allowing the robot to better clean along walls and furniture.

I'd like to point out that the wiper holders can automatically lift 10 mm when the robot enters carpets and returns to the station, or when moving to the cleaning area. This is a plus.

The Roborock Qrevo Pro above the station automatically empties the dust bin, washes the cleaning cloths with hot water, and dries them with warm air. The station also automatically detects the level of soiling of the cleaning cloths, allowing for re-washing or cleaning of particularly dirty areas.

The robot's ramp and the tray where the wipes are washed are removable. This is VERY convenient for station maintenance.

The waste bag is located at the front, behind the lid. The bag capacity is 2.7 liters.

The water tanks are spacious. The clean water tank holds 4 liters, and the dirty water tank holds 3.5 liters.

There's no word yet on connecting the station to the sewer and water supply. While the design leaves the possibility open for this, there's no practical information yet about the modules. I'd really like to see them implemented.

Overall, we see differences from the Roborock Qrevo and Roborock Qrevo S, including the cleaning cloth extending to the baseboard, the increased height of the holders above the floor, and the ability to wash the cleaning cloths with hot water at the station. In my opinion, these are significant design improvements.

Technical specifications

The main characteristics of the Roborock Qrevo Pro, as stated by the manufacturer, are displayed on the screen:

• Li-Ion battery 5200 mAh.
• Suction power up to 7000 Pa.
• Operating time up to 180 min.
• Cleaning area up to 300 sq.m.
• Dust collector capacity is 330 ml.
• The water tank capacity is 80 ml.
• Obstacle clearance up to 20 mm.
• Robot dimensions: 353*102 mm.

Station:

• Clean water tank: 4 l.
• Dirty water tank: 3.5 l.
• Bag in the station: 2.7 l.
• Station dimensions: 521*340*487 mm.

They are on par with similar products from other brands in this price segment.

Functional capabilities

Speaking of features, the robot vacuum cleaner is controlled via the proprietary Roborock app. Connection is simple and convenient, the interface is in Russian, and the Russian version of the robot itself even has voice notifications in Russian. The global version doesn't have a Russian voice package, which is important to keep in mind.

Main features of Roborock Qrevo Pro:

• Self-cleaning of the dust collector at the station.
• Washing napkins with hot water.
• Drying napkins with warm air.
• Refilling the robot's water tank via the station.
• Automatic detection of the degree of contamination of napkins.
• Moving the holder with a napkin to the baseboard.
• Identifying objects on the floor.
• Saving multiple cleaning maps in memory.
• Automatic zoning of premises into rooms.
• Selecting areas and rooms for cleaning.
• Virtual walls and no-go zones (and for wet cleaning mode).
• Suction power adjustment.
• Adjusting the degree of wetting of the napkin.
• Intensive wet cleaning mode.
• User mode.
• SmartPlan smart cleaning planning.
• Cleaning log.
• Setting up cleaning according to a schedule.
• Automatic power increase on carpet.
• Carpet cleaning in wet cleaning mode.
• Lifting napkins when driving onto carpets.
• Yandex.Alice support.

New features include the addition of SmartPlan mode, which automatically adjusts cleaning parameters based on flooring type, room type, and other parameters. I can already say that the robot has a wide range of features, allowing you to flexibly customize cleaning parameters to your specific needs. The proprietary "Hello, Rocky!" voice assistant is not supported by the Qrevo Pro. This is one of the differences from the older Qrevo MaxV.

Testing

A detailed video review of the Roborock Qrevo PRO, including all tests, has already been prepared and published on the channel:

 

Navigation

And finally, let's move on to the tests! First, we'll test the Roborock Qrevo Pro's navigation in a room with obstacles. When entering the room, the robot vacuum first circled a box, then moved around the perimeter, and then cleaned the entire accessible area in a serpentine pattern. The legs of a clothes dryer presented no problems. The robot also navigated around all four legs of a chair independently, before returning to its base. Test successful!

Speaking of navigating around the home, the Roborock Qrevo Pro cleans room by room, first along the perimeter, then in a serpentine pattern. Every 20 minutes, as specified in the settings, the robot vacuum returns to the station and washes the cleaning pads, then returns to clean where it left off. There are no uncleaned areas, the cleaning speed is high, and this model's navigation is excellent!

Identifying and avoiding obstacles

We'll also test the floor object recognition system separately. For this purpose, we placed various household items around the room that could interfere with the cleaning process and even block the robot's brushes, causing it to malfunction.

In good lighting, the Roborock Qrevo Pro was able to safely navigate around only 1 of the 6 objects. It ran over a simulated pet surprise, chewed a cord, and displaced a sock, a bathroom scale, and a sneaker. The second time, the situation was similar. Meanwhile, the first-generation Qrevo performed much better in this test – the robot vacuum cleaner was able to safely navigate around 5 of the 6 objects. It only ran over the simulated pet surprise.

In complete darkness, Qrevo Pro was able to identify and accurately navigate around 3 of 6 objects.

I think this may be because I received my review sample back in May, directly from the factory. They'll likely fix this with updates before the launch, and the robot will be as capable as the smaller Qrevo.

It's worth noting that the bumper sensors can only detect objects on the floor and display them as icons on the map, but the robot is not capable of recognizing what's actually on the floor, as is the case with the MaxV versions. This means this model lacks artificial intelligence, and this is important to keep in mind.

Suction power

As for suction power, it actually turned out to be high. The Roborock Qrevo Pro was able to suck up debris from crevices up to 10 mm deep, while the standard Roborock Qrevo achieved a depth of 6 mm. So, the updated model is actually much more powerful, and that's impressive!

Dry cleaning of laminate flooring

The collection of various types of debris on laminate floors is good. Only a little debris remains in the corners, where round robotic vacuums can't sweep. It's also important to note that the central brush didn't get tangled with hair. Hair only slightly tangled around the side brush. All debris is collected in the dust bin. That's a plus!

Carpet cleaning

The same debris was scattered on a low-pile carpet. And I can say that the Roborock Qrevo Pro thoroughly cleaned the carpet.

It can also clean medium-pile carpets, but not as effectively. This is because silicone turbo brushes are slightly inferior to a conventional bristle-petal brush in terms of picking up debris on carpets.

Self-cleaning

Immediately after the "dirty tests," I checked how well the robot vacuum self-cleaned. I returned it to the station and started the self-cleaning process. The results were excellent. The dust bin was completely empty, so this robot's self-cleaning function is excellent!

Wet cleaning

The cleaning performance on slightly dried-on dirt is also excellent. The cloth presses firmly to the floor and absorbs dirt.

Moreover, the robot was able to remove even dried-on coffee and sauce stains. Granted, not on the first try. It took seven tries, to be precise. But it was nonetheless up to the task. Many similar and predecessors in the line failed to achieve even this level of success.

Speaking of the blind spot between the edge of the cleaning cloth and the baseboard or furniture, there isn't one. Thanks to the retractable cleaning cloth, the robot thoroughly cleans the floor along the baseboard. That's a plus!

Wet cleaning and carpets

When it comes to wet cleaning on carpeted floors, the robot offers several different modes of interaction. Roborock Qrevo Pro can carefully navigate around carpets in wet cleaning mode, or it can enter and touch the carpet with its cleaning pad if you want to clean it with the robot. It can also clean carpets during wet cleaning, automatically lifting the cleaning pads when entering the carpet.

Washing quality of napkins

I'd like to immediately talk about the effectiveness of the station itself. Let's start with the cleaning quality of the wipes. Even after extensive testing, the wipes look significantly better after washing at the station. The water heating feature certainly improves cleaning efficiency. In a domestic setting, after washing the floor, the wipes are thoroughly rinsed at the station. A minimal amount of dirt is removed under the pressure of warm water. This is a plus.

The station itself is easy to clean. Remove the tray and drain, rinse them in the sink, and then return them to the sink.

Obstacle clearance

The robot has excellent maneuverability. It can easily cross a 2 cm threshold!

Driving on black surfaces

Driving over black carpets is no problem. The robot glides over the black carpet as if nothing had happened.

Noise level

As for the noise level, it ranges from 55 to 67 dB, depending on the selected operating mode. I can say this is a quiet robot, considering its high real power.

Personal opinion

The Roborock Qrevo Pro robot vacuum cleaner has been thoroughly reviewed and tested. our evaluation system he managed to gain 187 points, which is a good result. For example, the senior Roborock Qrevo MaxV scored 202 points, and the previous generation version Q Revo scored 174 points.

Overall rating of tested robot vacuum cleaners: https://robovac.washerhouse.com/en/rejtingi/robovac-obshhij-rejting-robotov-pylesosov-robo.html.

I will highlight the pros and cons of the Proshka, after which I will express my own opinion about the robot.

I liked the following:

1. High suction power.
2. Moving the napkin to the baseboard when washing the floor.
3. A self-cleaning station for the dust collector, washing, and drying wipes is available. It effectively accomplishes its tasks.
4. Spacious tanks at the station.
5. The station design is easy to maintain.
6. Good navigation.
7. The silicone turbo brush makes it easier to clean hair and fur.
8. Improved lifting of wipers when driving onto carpets.
9. High-quality dry and wet cleaning on hard surfaces.
10. Capable of removing even the most difficult stains.
11. A large number of functions in the application.
12. The robot vacuum cleaner is not afraid of black surfaces.
13. Good cross-country ability.
14. High-quality assembly and high brand authority.
15. Availability of a full warranty and service support.
16. An object detection system allows the robot to navigate around objects more accurately than similar vehicles without sensors or bumper cameras.

As for the shortcomings, I would like to highlight the following comments:

1. There is no object recognition, only detection by sensitive sensors.
2. The system for identifying objects requires improvement.
3. There is no active camera for remote home monitoring.
4. There are problems with cleaning medium pile carpets.
5. The station cannot be connected to the sewerage and water supply.
6. There is no automatic addition of detergent to the stations.
7. Doesn't sweep out debris in the corners.

Ultimately, I can say that the Roborock Qrevo Pro is a powerful robot vacuum cleaner with high-quality wet cleaning performance, no blind spots, and a fully functional self-maintenance station. For many, this intermediate version of the Qrevo line may be the optimal option, as its only significant differences from the Roborock Qrevo MaxV are the lack of remote home monitoring and a less accurate object detection system. However, the price difference can be as high as $200, allowing for significant savings.

On that note, I'd like to conclude this review. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Roborock Qrevo Pro in the comments. Happy shopping, everyone. Bye!
